The Artist  |  August 2021
From how to paint portraits of animals and people close up, birds on the shoreline in watercolour, a silver bowl of deep red roses in oils, to using found materials to create work inspired by the coast, there's something for everyone in this month's issue. Be inspired by Diana Armfield RA, still painting in her 101st year, as well as Paula Sharples' love of pattern and unusual perspectives typical of her mixed-media still life. Learn why nocturnes make such great subjects for pastel paintings, discover how to express your feelings and turn your sketches into successful studio paintings, and try mixed-media techniques to paint contemporary flower compositions. Plus find out how to succeed as a professional artist. Packed with demonstrations to follow and exercises to try, everything you need is here, covering all your favourite subject matter and media, to help you take your work to the next level.
